Zero counting for a class of univariate Pfaffian functions

Algebraic Geometry 2016-01-13 v2

Abstract

We present a new procedure to count the number of real zeros of a class of univariate Pfaffian functions of order 11. The procedure is based on the construction of Sturm sequences for these functions and relies on an oracle for sign determination. In the particular case of EE-polynomials, we design an oracle-free effective algorithm solving this task within exponential complexity. In addition, we give an explicit upper bound for the absolute value of the real zeros of an EE-polynomial.
